Seaman?

[Kimberly Maher]

In reading some of these posts, I ran across someone that mentioned a CD that had information about seamen/captains?
 
Allegedly, my ancestor, Bror Carl Springert, b 12 Oct 1850 in Härnösand, Vasternorrland, was a sea captain. I am wondering if there is a resource to look that up?

B C Springert, born 1850, is listed once, in the Söderhamn Seaman´s House (the organization registering seamen). He is then a timberman (carpenter) on the s/s John Fougt travelling from Sundsvall to Algoa Bay and back to Söderhamn 1877-1878. He is unmarried and had a wage of 55 kronor.
There is one more Springerts i Härnösand Seaman´s House, Johan Magnus Springert born 1837.
 
The register is not complete, the big Seaman´s Houses are not transcribed yet.

Thanks again! BC Springer ended up being a logger and farmer in America!  Johan Magnus was his uncle (mother's brother).
 
Thank you very much.
